Ron Mosley, Vinescape asked me to forward the information below about a 
vine pruning course he is teaching at Foothill College in Cupertino 
starting in February. Ron is a vineyard manager/consultant and has been 
teaching viticulture classes at the college, which have proven to be 
very popular. Please contact Ron directly if you have any questions.

Vine Pruning (VITI 90D)

The annual growth cycle and growth habits of grapevines are detailed and 
applied to vineyard practices specific to the vines themselves. Follow 
the three year process from planting and through the training process 
until the vines are mature. Students will travel to a local vineyard to 
prune actual grapevines under supervision. Review pruning theory, 
previous seasons'  pruned vines, and pruning weights to yield ratios. 
Learn head, spur and cane pruning in the vineyard. Pruning shears are 
required, work clothes and boots are recommended. This course is 
intended for students in the viticulture program but members of the 
public and professional community are welcome to enroll.

4 class dates (4 hours each):
- the first class is a lecture at Foothill College on 2/11
- the following three classes are in select vineyards on 2/25, 3/4, and 
a 4th date TBD.

Cost:  $31 class fee. Yes, that's it. Total, for all 4 classes.
